The Cincinnati Reds looked good sweeping the Pirates in four straight, but the Pirates are 4-28 in their last 32 on the road. This is a Reds team that is 3-11 in their last 14 on the road against a team with a winning record. Atlanta is still playing for a potential wildcard, so they will be focused here. Bronson Arroyo has pitched better of late, but with that said the Reds stand at just 2-10 in his last 12 starts on the road as a dog, and just 1-10 against a team with a winning record this season. The Braves rise to the occasion bigtime after a loss, as they are now 17-4 after dropping a game. Derek Lowe has delivered the Braves to six straight wins when he pitches off the home mound. I like Atlanta to take this one.
